Howdy folks!
We promised to bring back all of the calligraphy goodness this week & we're delivering in a BIG way! We've put together a new video series called Calligraphy in Action which shows our very own, Bailey Rivera, lettering in her studio. The response to our videos has been great and we think that one of the best ways to experience calligraphy is to SEE it being practiced! Don't you agree? There's also something incredibly soothing and inspiring to see the slow, methodical process of dip pen and ink.
In this video, we used:
Dr. Martin's bleedproof white ink and a Zebra G nib on a lovely wine colored paper.
We hope you enjoy the video...and stay tuned for more to come!

What a beautiful video! Got me hanging on to each stroke. Bailey's work is amazing! And such a gorgeous nib holder!!
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad that you enjoyed it! Thank you for reaching out:)
DeleteHi, I love your blog and watching your videos. I have done calligraphy for a few years, but newly learning Copperplate. I was wondering what type of pen holder you are using in this video. Thanks for the amazing tutorials... I'm trying to learn a more modern type of calligraphy and this seems to be very helpful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The holder in the video was made by Brian Smith of Unique Obliques on Etsy. It's an oblique holder that holds a Zebra G nib. The pen was painted by Schin Loong. I hope that helps! You certainly don't need a fancy pen to start with:)
DeleteHi! Do you have any instructions on how to use the bleedproof white paste from Dr Martin's to get the best consistency? Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI mix in water to the top of the jar, then stir until it reaches a cream like consistency. I do this process almost every time I open the jar. I find that this wastes the least amount of ink!
